My personal picks for the month: Photo - Jostein; mystery - Wendy; interpretation - Sridhar. Comments... * Jostein: Curves in... I don't usually go for abstract but I like this one. Curtains blown by the wind? * Dave Brooks: Swirls. Interesting but I would like it a little sharper with more contrast. * Jens Bladt: Watersurface. Interesting effect but the highlights are a bit distracting. * Kenneth Waller: A very grainy image. I rather like the knots in this which make it a bit different. I'm not going to guess: What would I do with 100 pixels? * Ray Allen: A cliff face. Fun picture! * Cotty: Transparent Conundrum. I like the way this has been photographed: grey on grey. (What Mike said.) * Paul Stenquist: An easy one. Not sure about this one. Well shot but my eyes keep getting pulled to the bottom of the image. * Wendy Beard: No title. For me, one of the best "what is it?" Would never have guessed, despite it being "pretty obvious"! * Mark Roberts: CokeBus. Just can't make up my mind about this one. * Dan Matyola: Cave Canem. Interesting. A little soft? * Robert Gonzalez: What am eye? Nicely shot. Unusual colouring. Like it. (What Mike said.) * Me: Here. I'll neither confirm nor deny Mike's guess! I took several photos specifically for this theme but didn't like the way they came out, so used a crop from an earlier photograph instead. * Casaletti Leonardo: Fly. Nicely captured and an unusual bug. Whites are perhaps a bit blown. * Thrainn Vigfusson: Who's head is it anyway? Fun! I like it. * Joseph Tainter: Mystery to me. Sharp and I like the pose. It's not static "bird on a stick" because it's attentive and about to do something. * Patrick Rendulic: Minnie. Sorry...but I don't like cats! Any opinion I expressed would be irretrievably biased. 8-) * Boris Liberman: Common Language. BW makes it a bit more mysterious. I think Mike's got it. * Bob Sullivan: In Costume. Before I read Bob's comment my thought was that the mystery was "What is the mystery?" (Having worn a similar funny get-up on one occasion.) Nice capture. * Henk Terhell: Flight of the Soul. Interesting idea. I rather like it. * Bruce Dayton: Ready. Very nicely shot! * Gainfranco Irlanda: A Car? Interesting as an object but the image is a little static. Perhaps another angle? * Sridhar Gibikote: What's that? I like the "atmosphere" and light of this photograph. The water-line is, however, perhaps a bit too central. Perhaps it would be better from a little further away with the people a little higher and slightly further to the left. It's a very clever interpretation of the theme, however. * Harald Rust: Epiphyte. I like this. I think it is a rather tricky subject but this one is nicely posed. A bit green and soft perhaps. * Jan van Wijk: Cornflower with Bee. Nicly captured and appealing colours. If it's cropped, I would, perhaps, have put the bee a bit higher and to the left. * John Forbes: Watchers. This could actually go under the theme in the same way as Sridhar's: What are they watching? Not sure what I think about this one. Keith McG -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
